have to use the connection to USB interfaces with USB 2.0 version or higher.
Distraction
Take care when using the Lenovo Phone in a motor vehicle or on a bicycle. Always prioritize your
safety and the safety of others. Follow the law. Local laws and regulations might govern how you
can use mobile electronic devices, such as the Lenovo Phone, while you drive a motor vehicle or
ride a bicycle.
Choking hazard
Keep the Lenovo Phone and accessories away from small children. The Lenovo Phone contains
small parts that can be a choking hazard to small children. Additionally, the glass screen can
break or crack if dropped on or thrown against a hard surface.
Explosive atmospheres
Do not charge or use the Lenovo Phone in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere, such
as at a fueling area, or in areas where the air contains chemicals or particles (such as grain,
dust, or metal powders). Obey all signs and instructions.
Radio frequency interference
Observe signs and notices that prohibit or restrict the use of mobile phones (for example, in
healthcare facilities or blasting areas). Although the Lenovo Phone is designed, tested, and
manufactured to comply with regulations governing radio frequency emissions, such emissions
from the Lenovo Phone can negatively affect the operation of other electronic equipment, causing
them to malfunction. Turn off the Lenovo Phone or use Airplane Mode to turn off the Lenovo
Phone wireless transmitters when use is prohibited, such as while traveling in aircraft, or when
asked to do so by authorities.
Medical devices
The Lenovo Phone contains radios that emit electromagnetic fields. These electromagnetic fields
may interfere with pacemakers or other medical devices. If you wear a pacemaker, maintain at
least 15 cm (6 inches) of separation between your pacemaker and the Lenovo Phone. If you
suspect the Lenovo Phone is interfering with your pacemaker or any other medical device, stop
using the Lenovo Phone and consult your physician for information specific to your medical
device.
Important handling info
Cleaning
Clean the Lenovo Phone immediately if it comes in contact with anything that may cause stains,
such as dirt, ink, makeup, or lotions. To clean:
Disconnect all cables and turn off the Lenovo Phone (press and hold the Sleep/Wake button,
then slide the on-screen slider).
Use a soft, lint-free cloth.
Avoid getting moisture in openings.
Do not use cleaning products or compressed air.
Operating temperature
Be aware of heat generated by the Lenovo Phone. When using the Lenovo Phone, keep it away
from hot or high-voltage environments, such as electric appliances, electric heating equipment, or
electric cooking equipment. Use the Lenovo Phone only in the temperature range of -10°C (14 °F)
—35°C (95 °F) to avoid damage.
When the Lenovo Phone is turned on or the battery is charging, some parts might become hot.
The temperature that they reach depends on the amount of system activity and the battery charge
level. Extended contact with your body, even through clothing, could cause discomfort or even a
skin burn. Avoid keeping your hands, your lap, or any other part of your body in contact with a
hot section of the Lenovo Phone for any extended time.
Protecting your data and software
Do not delete unknown files or change the name of files or directories that were not created by
you; otherwise, the Lenovo Phone software might fail to work.
Be aware that accessing network resources can leave the Lenovo Phone vulnerable to computer
viruses, hackers, spyware, and other malicious activities that might damage the Lenovo Phone,
software, or data. It is your responsibility to ensure that you have adequate protection in the form
of firewalls, antivirus software, and anti-spyware software and keep such software up to date.
Keep electrical appliances away from the Lenovo Phone, such as an electric fan, a radio, high-
powered speakers, an air conditioner, and a microwave oven. The strong magnetic fields
generated by electrical appliances can damage the screen and the data on the Lenovo Phone.
